Heartbreaking Moment Dogs Are Abandoned Goes Viral

WARNING: This is a very difficult watch, but very important.

A heartbreaking video is going viral online, allegedly showing the moment a group of dogs were abandoned by their owner.

The video in question appears to show a woman leaving her dogs by the side of road, as the person filming urges her to take the animals to a shelter.

Unfortunately, the woman gets into her car and speeds away, leaving the dogs behind.

As we said, the clip may be extremely upsetting to some viewers, but you can watch it here.

Now, this is the internet, so it should be flagged that there is no confirmation that this was not staged, that the woman didn't come back, etc.

According to KSAT 12, however, a spokesperson for the Animal Care Services has claimed that a woman has handed herself in regarding the incident. All four of these dogs are now allegedly in the care of the services.

Whether this is the case or not, however, the video has opened up a lot of conversation online about opting for rescue dogs instead of buying one, as well as considering the responsibilities involved when doing so.

One person writes "Gives us insight and hopefully change will come from this. Sounds like it happens often which I didn’t expect. So sad. Dogs are like kids, you should only have them if you’re ready for them and can provide them a great safe comfortable life full of love.﻿"

Meanwhile, another person pointed out , should the video be legit, we don't these people's circumstances. They state "I don't judge them they maybe had to do it for certain reasons."
